No, that number is still within normal limit, especially both total red cell count and hematocrit are normal. You have nothing to concern.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if your results are stable, it is not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
